A smile can hide so many feelings. Fear, sadness, heartbreak, or humiliation. It also shows hope and strength. “You feel your strength in the experience of pain.” — Jim Morrison https://www.instagram.com/p/CnwJiibuDHjXp3y6WRwkCJtKZ2iZdp75IAF0Ao0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

T TBT pic (17 years old)
This pic is definitely NOT one of my favorites, but it’s me. 🤷🏽‍♂️ The only thing I like is the tan I got! ☀️
It’s funny how at 17 you think you know everything and think you are invincible. If only I knew then, what I know now….. smh 🤦🏽‍♂️ https://www.instagram.com/p/CUbeeBeMI8VEJ_v1DkQHw6ez_jxg7dYe3WW9d00/?utm_medium=tumblr

Dad: I attribute my heart to you and mommy. Growing up and to this day, I’ve experienced your empathy. When someone with true empathy listens…the other person feels truly heard. And feeling heard is what often makes the difference. I’ve always felt heard, significant, and validated in your eyes. I'm deeply grateful for you, “Daddy,” and I'm not sure I'll ever be able to pay you back for all that you've done for me. Happy Fathers Day Dad and to All Dads! https://www.instagram.com/p/CQXCJqArGzVoIydq1ldx6QapX9GRIF0akPofas0/?utm_medium=tumblr

Another “Throwback” this week. 
A pic of me with my sisters, Tammy & Avon. 💜💜 #MissingThoseDays😔 Sisters are gifts to the heart, friends to the spirit, golden threads to the meaning of life, a little bit of childhood that can never be lost. ~RIP Avon~ https://www.instagram.com/p/CNrJwyzLDvxM9D_bADYrOKJroyEcdwOiWSryeQ0/?igshid=1g15e2heyatbi

Honestly, I hate this picture and was never going to post it. 💯🤦🏽‍♂️ Going through puberty and an awkward stage is rough, enough said. After giving things some thought, I remember my late Grand mom and recently losing my mom less than 2 weeks ago, I remember how much they loved pics like this of me....despite even me! 🤷🏽‍♂️🥰 #UnconditionalLove “Actual love, as in unconditional love, doesn’t mean you love everything about that person. It means you don’t need them to be different than they are for you to be happy.” https://www.instagram.com/p/CNIaAfgryh4FQsfCBe6O9ClRkyUO3JyyW0TaFU0/?igshid=1k7n4md6vfyiw

Just getting out to breathe, but now thinking “getting out “ isn’t as freeing as it used to be. #thetimeswelivein😷 https://www.instagram.com/p/CKhmhZ1Ml6gxkAIpu6gkPmuWzGoFhHX6ATXK7Y0/?igshid=kcne8zl8qo4j

Whatever this new year has in store, we all will be in it together. The sooner everyone realizes this, the sooner our world will become what God intended it to be. I wish the blindness of L-O-V-E prevents us from finding faults, but causes us to realize the true value and beauty each of us possess. #My2021Wish❤️🙏🏼 (at Hyattsville, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJg-bgyM34gVc-tAHxDjNFLZRtmvya8At-owv80/?igshid=yzjme16ag93a

This year has impacted and changed us in many ways. It also reminded us the value and importance of things we take for granted. Moving forward, let’s use this experience to make better decisions and be better people! Wishing you the happiest of holidays and a fantastic 2021!! Patrick L.

I looked in the mirror a few times and had to stop because you were looking back at me. When I see me, I see you. #MissingMySister💔 https://www.instagram.com/p/CFVhak6Mm1_5C_Itj0FeAHmROmq6Jya8FcIzC40/?igshid=1ouekmgl6iihc

Somebody should tell us, right at the start of our lives, that we are dying. Then we might live life to the limit, every minute of every day. Do it! I say. Whatever you want to do, do it now! There are only so many tomorrows. ~ Pope Paul VI

I am a BLACK MAN!.....I build....I don't tear down other BLACK MEN! I have felt the pain of being torn down and I have decided I will be deliberate about building others! If I didn't tag you, please don't be offended. I tried to pick people I thought would do this challenge!! All too often, we men find it easier to criticize each other, instead of building each other up. With all the negativity going around let's do something positive!!🌟 💫 Upload 1 picture of yourself...ONLY you. Then tag as many brothers to do the same. (FB only allows a certain amount). Let's build ourselves up, instead of tearing ourselves down. 🖤🖤 COPY AND PASTE 🖤🖤 If I tagged you, don't disappoint me!! ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾 https://www.instagram.com/p/CC_eUBbJtnbpevn2X8ISmsDY7yat5elqIi9tG00/?igshid=1n7v8pchug1d9
